WASHINGTON. Dec. C. lTt
Although appropriating $R. 31! 1,000
for the reclamation aorvii-e fur the
fiscal yeiir the interior de
partment supply bill reported to
day by the house appropriations
committee failed to authorize coin
mencemeni uf eunstruction on any
new project.
The measure reapportioned, how
ever, unexpended appropriations of
last year and It was estimated thiit
the reclamation fund in the bureau
of reclamation would be reduced
to $1.2;fl.000 by July 1, 1U31. if I

RAISE ASSESSMENT
TABLE ROCK DITCH
cannot be handled by that district
alone certain problems belong to ,
the Industry as a whole. It is this
type of problem that for the first
time the delegates felt they were
in u position to help solve. Among
these problems is one that in
recent years has become acute,
that is the one of forcing the mar
kets of the world to keep puce
with the fast increasing production
of pears.
With tlu'se thoughts In mind the
official statement of the Pacific
Pear Council is submitted:
.Mcdfiiitl Is Honored
1 . That an organization of
growers of pears In the states of
Oregon. Washington and Califor
nia be created to bo known us The
Pacific Pear Growgcra Council, to
which all pear growers ure invited
to join.
'J. It shut! be managed by a
board of directors or council se
lected on the following basis:
Washington: Six representatives,
of which three shall coma from
the Wcna tehee district and three
from the Yakima district.
Oregon: Six representatives, of
which three shall come from the
Hood Kiver and White Salmon
Vullcy dlstriet, ami three from the
Hoguc Itiver valley.
California: Twenty-one represen
tatives to be apportioned on an
equitable basis by a special com
mittee. 2. The organization shall have
the following officers to be select
ed from tho different districts as
follows:
(I) A president from the Hoguc
rtiVcr valley.
( " ) Two vice presidents, one
from California and one from
Washington.
(3 A scerotary-treuMircr.
(iho Cinwcru laL.i
-I. This organization shall have
the following objects, purposes,
und activities:
l I ) To exchange and dissemi
nate to the growers uuthentic in
formation on crop conditions In
the various pear districts of the
Pacific coast, probable dates at
w hich shipping will bvgin and esti
mated volume of movement, pro
spective cannery tonnage, cannery
prices und general cannery actlv.
Ittes, general Information on ship
plug data of all kind. Including
dally t-arlot muvenient, with a view
to stabilizing general market con
ditions, and to compile and dis
seminate Information bn storoge
holdings.
haphazardly as is now attempted
Many important shipments and
many sales are baeil on the data
found under this heading and the
facts are therefore too important
to be handled in the lax manner in
which wo now find them as n re
sult of having no central fact find
ing body. There was no question
lu the minds of those present that
the proper dissemination of this
Information would make for a bet
ter stabilizing in general market
conditions.
With this thought In mind there
was no question lu the minds of
the delegates from t:.o grca- state
of California that this common
purpose could be best served by
joining forces with .their smaller
brothers to the north, the stales of
Oregon and .Washington, 'to the
end that belter results and more
efficiency could be brought Into
the Industry as a whole.
